Montelukast – Product Introduction

Definition:
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) used primarily in the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis. It works by blocking leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and allergic symptoms.

Function:
Montelukast helps reduce inflammation and constriction in the airways by inhibiting leukotrienes from binding to their receptors. This leads to improved airflow and reduced symptoms of asthma and allergies.

· Allergic Rhinitis: Effective in treating hay fever and allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose.
